Yes, like Josti said before. Kuipers ‘Junior’ is only 21 years of age and this is his first season as a rally driver. Started at the beginning of this season with a BMW Compact M3 and drove a Wevers prepared Fabia WRC at the Amsterdam Rally, a small event in September. He was in second position (in front of Erik Wevers and a couple of other WRCars) when he retired at the start line of the last stage. Reason for that was that the police forced him to pull over the car, because he was warming up his tyres. Just at normal speed, but still enough to lose his driving license. The Conrad Euregio Rally was his first outing since Amsterdam and of course the first event with his new 207.

A million thanks for the information Huufke ;)

Thanks also to Josti

Finland's Jarkko Miettinen won Saturday's Pirelli Rally Show in Sibiu (Romania) driving a borowed car.

Well, I'm looking forward to the event too! The Polos look great in BP livery, but it's a pitty only one will start because of an accident in previous rally with the driver (not the car!) :)

How many Polos will drive in 2008 in Austrian championship?

Minimum 1 ( Waldherr ) and in Janner rally for sure 2 ( Waldherr + Rosenberger ), and we hope to continue with these 2.

Last event of the 2007 spanish gravel championship this week-end in Cabanas (Galicia).

It will be a battle for the title between Dani Solà and Joan Vinyes.

GTA, HaCo: Janner rally wil be again a first round of Czech international champ as well and that means pretty much compettion there. But if there is enough snow my favourite is Baumschlager :)

@mirek: are there any "roumors" about s2000 cars in next year´s czech championship (apart from petaks peugeot wich seems to be sure)

@ GTA: we (the austrian´s) hope also that you will continue with both drivers, but as far as i know rosenberger´s plan is also to do the full season...

dont forget to bring warm clothes with you to waldviertel rally ;o))
